    I'd also like to give a shoutout to the douchebag Yankees fan who had to yell LET'S GO YANK-EES! in the field level concession area.


    The Mets aren't even playing, it's a college exhibition game, and you come to CitiField in head-to-toe Yankee gear. And just so no one can mistake you for anything but a loudmouth fucktard, you gotta do your stupid chants, too. Thanks for ruining my first trip to the new stadium dick.

    Sounds like mission accomplished from his perspective.

    @stealofthedraft: There's a contingent of Yankee "fan" that doesn't like baseball, or sports, they just like following a historically successful franchise, so they can succeed in one aspect of their life (even by proxy).


    So you could eat diarrhea for a living, but you're still able to end arguments by saying 26 RINGS, BABEE!

    I was both overwhelmed and weirdly underwhelmed at the CitiField experience yesterday. They still have some work to do to spiff it up and totally finish it. But for five bucks, I can't complain, and concession prices are actually down from last year (even if ticket prices definitely aren't).


    And if you're gonna bitch about taxpayer money going into this stadium, you gotta hunt far and wide to find a stadium that wasn't taxpayer-funded.

    @shea_guevara: Hate to nitpick, but there's a difference between my taxes funding a ballpark in my hometown and my taxes funding a ballpark in Queens.


    And no, the fact that the team in my home ballpark usually falls apart in May rather than September is not the difference.

    @FozzieBear: I forget the exact number, but there's an enormous amount of companies receiving federal bailout money who have varying degrees of team/stadium sponsorship, in all cities and all sports.


    Of course, Citi is one of the few who wanted to buy new corporate jets after getting that money.

    John Franco threw out the first pitch. They brought the boos over from Shea.

    Regardless of how many special books they find or what Ages they beam back to, the story always ends the same way for Mets fans: the suffocating Myst of failure.

    I'm more excited about the opening of another Shake Shack, but considering it's in a Mets stadium I'll only go to Citi with people who know the Heimlich maneuver.

    A modest proposal: Since we're basically paying for them anyway, I think that Madoff's tickets should be rotated among all American taxpayers.


    I think that'd be the resPonzible thing to do.

    Whoever sits in those seats behind home plate has to promise not to duck like a little girl when a pitch is fouled off towards you. There's a safety net there for a reason, Nancy!

    Do you think all the people in Mets fans were too drunk to realize the Mets weren't actually playing?

    Confusingly, Mike Jarvis was blamed for this loss and any subsequent losses St. John's baseball incurs this season.
